Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Hymnal: SDAH1985 #252 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Come, let us sing the song of songs Lyrics: 1 Come, let us sing the song of songs-
The angels first began the strain-
The homage which to Christ belongs:
“Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!”
2 Slain to redeem us by His blood,
To cleanse from every sinful stain,
And make us kings and priests to God:
“Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!”
3 To Him who suffered on the tree,
Our souls, at His soul’s price, to gain,
Blessing, and praise, and glory be:
“Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!”
4 To Him, enthroned by filial right
All power in heaven and earth proclaim,
Honor, and majesty, and might:
“Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!”
5 Long as we live, and when we die,
And while in heaven with Him we reign,
This song our song of songs shall be:
“Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!” Topics: Jesus Christ Glory and Praise Scripture: Revelation 5:9-13 Tune Title: RUSSIA
Come, Let Us Sing
